Your drinker's doom
Turned out to be a tranquil tomb
Is there any room
To bring out your brilliant, legitimate bloom?

You stared at me vacantly and...

Feeling hazy in humid summer, overheating myself 
I feel like you keep talking my ears off till they bleed
I need you to back off…leave me alone…take...

they disturb, deep behind my sleeping eyes
  ......

I am
in the A.M.
Am I ?

On the edge of the leaf, spinning,
Out of control, glistening
Slowly dancing – a waltzlike trembling,
glad to see the hesitation of colors,
graceful as sun’s reflection on the waters,
lakes of melancholic, drifting
soundless and soothed by the twisting,...

because my mind is hooked 
on hip-hop and this culture 
so stereotyped with hood...

Why do the sullen grey clouds desert a sombre sky?
As the ugly black smog blots out the valiant sun’s rays

history upon cobblestone streets 
where sounds of silence 
from walking...

when a wealthy man pushing thirty
wants a pretty girl who's barely eighteen.
A girl still learning the shade of her own skin
still waking up from childhood dreams
But it doesn't matter,
what matters is

for they are blackholes of the broken hearted 
Set on a treacherous sea blindfolded
to distracted by butterflies to properly set up a captain's log

And it's not a place for someone to act like something they ain't
